Over 6,500 attendees at a New Year event gathered at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that paired live performances with a headline presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s 2026 international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme put the focus on the year’s most talked-about themes: digital expansion and online learning, new facilities and planning for future openings, and the restoration of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also touched on drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) linked to community engagement in multiple regions.
For readers in Europe, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement marks its milestones—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
